Hello, I read apple cider vinegar or even wine vinegar help with weight loss, views ?
It doesn't do anything for weight loss. The only scientifically backed benefit of consuming ACV is that when consumed before a meal it can help lower blood sugar levels in diabetics...but even that effect is pretty minimal and similar to having a glass of wine.0 -
Apple cider vinegar does nothing for weight loss, in and of itself.
Now green coffee extract, that stuff will make you lose weight without exercising or eating less. Just kidding. None of those things actually work.
If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Actually, green coffee extract being primarily caffeine will help with weight loss as it is a stimulant and appetite suppressant.
NOTE: This assumes that you're in the .01% of population that's not already caffeine acclimated.3 -
You're just gonna have to the work!0

They probably got that from Dr Oz, my mom called me and told me she saw a segment that he did where you take a shot of ACV after eating a doughnut and you won't absorb the calories or sugar from the doughnut.
sigh some people will believe anything that man says.
That would be the case for me...because the ACV would likely have me throwing up the donut7 -
My opinion is not worth a hill of beans. What does the evidence say?
The only data that exists, afaik, is the often cited japanese study where acv was found to have some use, but the study design wasn't great (it's based on diet diaries and step counters). I don't think there's really enough evidence to say either way personally.

Jeff Nippard did a myth-bust monday about this topic a while ago (reviewing the science).

It could also work if taken before meals by making the consumer so nauseous he or she would be unable to eat.

Then eventually you would lose your teeth from the acidity and you could try those all liquid diets people always seem so eager to try.0 -
It’s good for your immune system, but I don’t think it has any magical weight loss powers.11

Bogus. There are no magic foods that will make you lose weight. It's about being in a calorie deficit, that's it.1

Vinegar is good on a salad, but truly, eating less calories than you burn is the ONLY way to lose weight.
BTW, MFP needs a LOL button

If you're drinking vinegar with the mother, the pre/pro biotics are beneficial, similar to Yoghurt or Kefir or Kombucha, etc2 -

Why why why would you ruin the deliciousness of a doughnut with an ACV chaser? That's just wrong on so many levels.5 -

I haven't looked into it in awhile but last I checked there was no proof that the mother did anything for you except cost more. Do you have a link to a human study?

Vinegar is good on salads, bad for your teeth enamel, does nothing for weight loss.1

Yum, apple cider vinegar...I like to toss it with vegan mayonnaise, a little celery seed, just the barest touch of sugar and make apple cole slaw.
It's not great for weightloss though (see: mayonnaise, sugar, etc) but a little of it does go a long way on my apples and cabbage.2 -

That's not good for your teeth..highly acidic...if you decide to do it, at least use a straw then brush afterwards. I did acv shots a years ago but had zero effect on my weightloss and gave me stomachaches but i do know there are many health benefits to it. I give my dog a teaspoon a day.3

Pray describe all these health benefits, and especially why you're giving a dog vinegar.6 -
